Islamic banks are on the way inshallah, but we'll probably get them here in Canada first since the operating margins are higher - in the States its about 8%, and in Canada its around 13%.

Lobbies? CAIR is growing, and it'll need all the support we can give. Make no mistake, it is a lobby group.

Hospitals and Universities? Yo, we love challenges. You're on.

Since you're ditching us and RIS this year, why don't you just have your people call my people. We'll do lunch. We can talk then.

ciao.

there's nothing islamic about you, your just a joke
